5. Ventilation: Phalaenopsis prefers a well ventilated environment, and indoor maintenance should avoid prolonged confinement. Regularly open windows for ventilation to maintain indoor air circulation.
6. Fertilization: Phalaenopsis requires appropriate nutrients during its growth process. Spring and autumn are the peak growing seasons, and fertilization is required every 2 to 3 weeks; In winter, the frequency of fertilization should be reduced, and fertilization should be done once every 1 to 2 months. You can choose to apply orchid specific fertilizer or decomposed organic fertilizer. 3、 Precautions
1. Avoid direct exposure to strong light: Excessive light can cause butterfly orchid leaves to turn yellow or be damaged.
2. Reasonable temperature control: Maintaining a suitable growth temperature is beneficial for the healthy growth of Phalaenopsis.
3. Pay attention to ventilation: A good ventilation environment is an important guarantee for the healthy growth of Phalaenopsis.
4. Avoid excessive fertilization: Excessive fertilization can damage the root system of Phalaenopsis, and it should be fertilized reasonably according to its growth needs.
